| Oct 17, 2012 at 10:38 | comment | added | hippietrail | Are there sources from within or from outside Japan telling you the masks are for personal protection from radioactive particles rather than against the wearer spreading their own cold and flu infections? Or have you made that assumption yourself? | |

However, it'd be quite interesting to know whether the masks are actually any use even against that. | |
